Default The "Ugly" guitar tone

I'm trying to emulate it, but can't figure out how he did it. It sounds chunky, metallic and very round. Anybody have a clue?

I think he plugged an electric guitar into an amplifier, where the magnetic pickups on the guitar carried the vibrations from the strings into the amplifier, creating the sound.

who knows what Bill did though. probably something from a rack unit. i know this is one of the MCIS songs that they recorded several times with different approaches. would love to hear the distorted guitar and voice only version he's talked about.

There's a delay set to 8th notes with one repeat on it.
